Trend for Less: Wide Leg Pants
We’re so excited that wide leg pants are in for spring, so we can stop wiggling into our skinny, and sometimes skin-tight, jeans and let our legs breathe for a little while. Not only are wide leg pants comfier than their tighter counterparts, but they also work well for those of us with extra junk in our trunk, by creating a straight line from our hips to our ankles.
Here are our best bets for reasonably-priced, wide leg pants.(And by wide leg we don’t mean frumpy sweat pants or parachute pants.)

Read MoreYea or Nay: 80’s Fashion
It’s not super surprising that 80’s fashion has made a comeback this year; every other decade has been brought back, so why not the decade of Rubic cubes and stirrup pants? The 80’s were full of easy to love and easy to make fun of fashions (hmmm, remember the crimp iron?). Can we gracefully bring back leg warmers, perms, hot pink pumps, over-sized earrings, acid wash jeans, blue eyeliner, or god forbid, denim on denim? We’re split over here (Kathryn does want her Conair crimp iron back).
80’s fashion - is this idea rad or just plain bad?
Read MoreAffordable Gifts for Your (Female) Wedding Attendants From Target
With all the planning and sometimes drama that goes into putting together a wedding, gifts for your wedding party is the last thing you want to worry about. And while it’s a good idea to give a gift to your attendants, you don’t have to spend a small fortune doing so. I stumbled upon this section online at Target, which is perhaps the only store that really gets how to do the whole high -low thing, that has a slew of affordable gift options for your wedding party, most under $20.
Here’s some of my favorites:
Read MoreForever 21 Plus Size Line ‘Faith21’ Now Available Online
What: Forever 21’s new plus size line (finally), called Faith 21, is now available online at forever21.com
Why You Should Care: Previously, the pickins’ at the budget fav was slim to none for those who wear a size 12 or higher. Now sistas with a bit more back (and front) can score the same fashionable finds as our slimmer friends. The drawback? The selection is small and the cut is Junior Plus Size, meaning the fit is 1 to 2 sizes smaller than the size you wear at a store like Lane Bryant.

1. Botanical Floral Chiffon Blouse, $19.90
2. Floral Stain Evening Dress, ...
Fashion Trend: Floral Print Heels
What: Apparently, everyone’s adding a little spring to their step - with floral print heels.
What We Say: Floral prints in general tend to come and go, whereas floral print heels are a bit more timeless. They go with just about everything, though we suggest pairing them with solids, not other patterns. The rule of thumb is- the busier your shoes, the simpler the rest of your outfit should be - and vice versa. For those who are a little weary of this seasons’ floral print trend, flowery heels are a great, subtler alternative to printed blouses and dresses. We’ve got some affordable ...
Read MoreHoley Jeans: Yea or Nay?
It’s probably safe to assume that holey jeans were an accident; someone somewhere fell down, ripped their jeans, and thought “uh oh… wait, that looks cool.” But many of the world’s greatest inventions were accidents, so that’s not saying much. The holey jean phenomenon—new expensive jeans that look worn out and used, on purpose—is back; just look at this selection at American Eagle. Whether you paid top dollar for them at the stores or sliced and diced them yourself, you’ve been guilty of sporting see-through jeans at least once in your lifetime.
What is it we love about these torn up ...
